All My Sons, eh? Fantastic. God, wish I'd seen that
The Arthur Miller play? If so, and you haven't checked out the movie, do so. Hopelessly anvilly (just like the play), but Edward G. Robinson absolutely nails the role of the father.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Did anyone watch HIMYM last night?
I didn't really like Ted and Barney on the town as tourists (except I sorta liked Barney playing the hick, but I was mostly watching NPH acting than enjoying Barney. If that makes sense). I loved Lilly and Marshall, especially at the end and I liked Robin going back to being Robin. Keeping her around doesn't seem forced (I was wondering if it would even though Future!Ted refers to her as Aunt Robin) but the scenes with her and Lilly and her and Barney really highlighted that she has friendships and is more than just the girl friend.

Argh! Forgot about it and forgot to record it AGAIN.

Art Crawl!!!
I liked the concept of Ted and Barney on the town as tourists but it didn't work that well. I loved Lilly and Marshall and the Robin story.

We just got cable a couple of weeks ago, and I've been catching up on Scrubs. I just have this to say:
THEY KILLED LAVERNE!? What in the freaking hell?

Bill Lawrence mistakenly thought that last season would be the show's last, and (also mistakenly) that killing off Laverne would somehow make the show better. But he didn't want Aloma Wright to be out of a job once they got renewed, so she's coming back as a different character .

I think the only part of it I liked were the bits with Robin and Barney. My housemate summed it up best with "You know how last week I thought this show was really funny again? This week? Not so much."

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
HIMYM: Yeah, agreed it was a weaker episode.
I think I kinda felt a little wonky about the come back and be sophisticated Robin storyline. Probably cause I'm a little crunchy myself, but I felt odd about the way vacation!Robin was being presented.
Also, WTF Vaction!Robin/Robin? Ew!
